3D Printed DIY Turntable

That’s pretty cool looking, quite the minimalist design!

The kit is back in stock, so I ordered one.  I have all the parts printed already.  Not expecting much, but it should be fun

Finished the 3d-Printed turntable.  I used red and black carbon fiber PETG.

Works well and doesn't sound bad.  Better than I expected!

Don't know if a higher quality cartridge would improve it much.

All in all, it was a fun project

That is pretty darned cool.

Pretty cool design.  Thanks for sharing your work, Deb!

It's a cute design exercise but I can't see it meeting the basic criteria of rigidity and very low resonance. A better platter might help, as long as you can get it centred properly. 3 bubble levels? which one do you use?

I would think you use all three. I wouldn't worry about the usefulness of the turntable and let the builder worry about that.

You use all three by adjusting the three feet.  There is an aluminum part of the frame that gives some rigidity.  I didn't expect much from it and it was mostly a fun exercise.  It does work and sound better than I thought it would.  However, I have no intention of using it as my main turntable.  It was more a curiosity and a fun project.
